Strikeforce Grand Prix Semifinals set as all fighters make weight

They may have lost their heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem to the UFC but Strikeforce certainly still has a heavyweight division, a fact being put on display this weekend with the semifinal round of the promotion’s ongoing World Grand Prix.

The weigh-ins went off without a hitch as all fighters made weight. In one Semifinal fight, Silva and Cormier stood eye to eye, with the Brazilian crowding the American and giving him little space. In the other Semifinal fight, Barnett and Kharitonov squared off and, instead of mean mugging, shared a friendly laugh.
